Description
The Coniston is a 600mm semi-flush crystal ceiling light built around a circular French gold frame supporting multiple tiers of faceted clear crystals that cascade in a shallow dome formation. The fitting sits 310mm from the ceiling and takes six E14 bulbs (sold separately) mounted inside the ring structure, with light refracting through the crystal tiers to create ambient sparkle across the room.
Designed for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms with standard ceiling heights of 2.4-2.6m, the semi-flush format provides decorative impact without requiring the drop clearance of a full suspension fitting. The 600mm diameter suits rooms from 15-25m² where a single central fitting provides the main ambient light source. The crystals are arranged in overlapping rows, creating depth and reflective layers that amplify the light output when the bulbs are lit.
The French gold finish on the metal frame provides a warm metallic backdrop that contrasts with the clear faceted crystals, creating a warmer tonal balance than polished chrome or nickel equivalents. The substantial 14kg weight reflects the density of crystal coverage — the fitting requires secure fixing to a ceiling joist or reinforced rose. The Coniston works with dimmable E14 LED bulbs, allowing brightness to be adjusted from soft evening glow to full ambient illumination.
From Diyas Lighting, the Coniston range includes pendant and chandelier variants in matching French gold and chrome finishes. The semi-flush format makes it suited to ceilings where a full chandelier would hang too low, while retaining the same multi-tiered crystal aesthetic.

Frequently Asked
Is the Coniston dimmable?
Yes, if paired with dimmable E14 bulbs. The fitting itself has no built-in dimming circuitry — dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs you install and the dimmer switch used. Most modern LED E14 candle bulbs specify dimmer compatibility on the packaging.
What ceiling height is needed?
The fitting projects 310mm from the ceiling, so rooms with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above work well. In a 2.4m room the bottom of the crystal tier sits at approximately 2.1m, providing clearance above head height in most circulation areas.
What bulbs are recommended?
Six E14 small Edison screw (SES) bulbs up to 20W each. Most users pair this with 4-6W LED candle bulbs in warm white (2700K-3000K) to match the French gold tone. Clear filament-style LED candle bulbs add visible detail through the crystals when lit.
How is the fitting secured to the ceiling?
At 14kg, the Coniston requires fixing to a ceiling joist or a reinforced ceiling rose rated for the weight. Standard plasterboard fixings are not sufficient. Check the ceiling structure before installation or consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
